attractor

Definition

@staticmethod
def _step(X, a, b, u):
    x, y = X
    t = a - b / (1 + x**2 + y**2)
    xp = 1 + u * (x * np.cos(t) - y * np.sin(t))
    yp = u * (x * np.sin(t) + y * np.cos(t))
    return xp, yp

Parameters

Symbol Default Role
a 0.4 phase-offset constant of the cavity detuning
b 6 nonlinear phase-modulation strength
u 0.9 round-trip field-loss (dissipation) factor

Properties

Lyapunov spectrum
$+0.501,\; -0.7117$
computed at build
Kaplan–Yorke dimension
$D_{KY} = 1.704$
Divergence ∇·f
n/a — discrete map — flow divergence undefined (per-step contraction is |det J|)
Equilibria
3 fixed points
1 stable · 2 unstable

Define it in TSDynamics

import tsdynamics as ts

sys = ts.systems.Ikeda()
traj = sys.iterate(steps=10_000)

exps = sys.lyapunov_spectrum()
ts.kaplan_yorke_dimension(exps)
